General Manager

As General Manager, I have a vast variety of responsibilities, including overseeing operations, managing staff, and maintaining the quality of customer experiences. I'm in charge of the hiring, training, and scheduling processes for employees; coordinating staff events, and bolstering office culture and morale. I also work directly with customers; coordinating and booking private events, supervising and running group experiences, and answering any questions our guests may have. I run the numbers for our store accounts on a weekly basis and generate income and expense summaries for our account analyst. I must keep cash quantities in balance, online and in-store customer numbers in check, and maintain a consistent ratio of income to labor. Lastly, I participate in off-site networking events, donation arrangements, business agreements, marketing and promotion, public relations, and media outreach.

I worked on the farm for many years, starting in the fields and working my way up to leadership positions. Some of my earlier responsibilities included gathering, loading, and tracking inventory; taking phone orders, facilitating transactions, and assisting in the supervision of field operations and seasonal employees. In my last several years, I worked as a visual effects artist for the Halloween/pumpkin season; painting props and displays and creating special effects for the horror attractions.
